A Digital Therapeutics App for Dementia Care
Helping people with dementia and their care partners treat behavioral symptoms through evidence-based routines & rituals.
The Problem
Memory Loss is a Barrier to Connection & Purpose
Meaningful relationships and familiar routines can be a source of comfort and joy in the lives of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Unfortunately, as symptoms progress, so do barriers to connection and purpose. Memory loss can make communicating with others and engaging in favorite pastimes increasingly difficult — often leaving people with dementia and their care partners feeling withdrawn, anxious, lost, or angry.
The Future
Creating a Cycle of Connection
The Generation Connect (GC) App empowers people with memory loss and their teams to stay engaged and connected. The mobile app helps teams establish routines and rituals that have been shown to reduce troubling symptoms, enhance wellbeing and spark cognition.
Person with Dementia
- Getting involved can help people with dementia direct and personalize their own care through curating memories, photos, music playlists, and preferences.
Primary Family Caregiver
- The GC App helps the primary caregiver learn new skills, keep others involved, and better support professionals that help with respite care.
Professional Caregivers
- Professional caregivers are equipped with a tool for making connections, facilitating comforting experiences, and building trust.
Family & Friends
- Near or far, families can be involved in their loved one’s life by staying connected and contributing their unique insights and memories via the GC App.

"I have been with my client for years, and his family is so supportive. They’re actively involved and helped support me every step of the way. And even though his memory has declined over the years, we use the GC app to stay active and connected through his love of family and country music. We have developed a truly special bond and it is an honor to care for him."
